Description
Summary:This article is based on a master's research that aimed to identify how the sociocritical perspective of Mathematical Modelling could contribute to the development of concepts of Combinatorial Analysis. The research was conducted with 17 sophomore High School students from a private school in the Vale do Rio Doce, in the eastern region of Minas Gerais and with a Physical Education teacher. The methodological approach used in this study was qualitative and the data were produced through four activity blocks, two questionnaires, and one semistructured interview from september to november, 2018. The results showed that the contributions of this study were related to the active development of learning combinatorial concepts through a critical look over the practices of bodybuilding training in the researched gyms.
